M膩t峁沰a 艢补办迟颈

惭腻迟峁沰补肠补办谤补 explains this whole universe as being created by 艢颈惫补 in union with His own nature (艢补办迟颈)^[1]. The creation of universe by Him, in His own Self is as the reflection of His sweet will (滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈, the energy of will). Creation is the outcome of this reflection in His own nature. Unlike the reflection in an ordinary mirror wherein the mirror is the reflector and the thing that is reflected is an external object, the reflection of the universe taking place in 艢颈惫补鈥檚 own nature^[2], is like the reflection that takes place in a cup shaped mirror. 艢颈惫补 takes the form of a cup and places another cup in front of His nature. The second cup, inseparable from Him, reflects the universe.

Reflection of the thirty six tattvas

This universe is contained in, the thirty six tattvas, in descending order starting with 艢颈惫补 tattva in the following order: 艢补办迟颈 tattva, Sad膩艣iva tattva, 莫艣vara tattva, 艢耻诲诲丑补惫颈诲测腻 tattva, M膩yatattva, and so forth and ends with 笔峁泃丑惫墨 tattva. The reflection of the universe takes place not exactly in this descending order from 艢颈惫补 tattva but takes place in a reverse order from 笔峁泃丑惫墨 tattva (earth), the lowest element, to the highest 艢补办迟颈 tattva, and not from the highest to the lowest. When one sees his face in a cup shaped mirror, his head will appear as down and the body will appear as up. Similarly this whole universe begins from 艢补办迟颈 tattva, but it is experienced as beginning from 笔峁泃丑惫墨 tattva.

No external reflector

No outside mirror^[3] is there, separate from that which is reflected in the mirror. In the ordinary course of experience the object for reflection is at one place and the mirror, which is the reflector, is at another. In the reflection of the universe, however, the reflected and the reflector are inseparable 艢颈惫补 and His 艢补办迟颈- the energy holder and His energy of will.

Five energies of reflector in the process of manifestation

The reflector of this whole universe, 艢颈惫补, is full of five energies, viz., Cit 艢补办迟颈, the energy of consciousness, 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈, the energy of bliss, 滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈, the energy of will, 闯帽腻苍补 艢补办迟颈, the energy of knowledge, and 碍谤颈测腻 艢补办迟颈, the energy of action. These five energies are represented by the sixteen vowels of the Sanskrit alphabet鈥�(鈥渁鈥�, 鈥溎佲��, 鈥渋鈥�, 鈥溎�鈥�, 鈥渦鈥�, 鈥溑�鈥�, 鈥溼箾鈥�, 鈥溼節鈥�, 鈥溼阜鈥�, 鈥溼腹鈥�, 鈥渆鈥�, 鈥渁i鈥�, 鈥渙鈥�, 鈥渁u鈥�, 鈥渁m鈥�, 鈥渁岣モ��) i.e., 艢颈惫补 tattva.

Universe resides in the womb of 艢补办迟颈

First Sanskrit alphabet, 鈥渁鈥� represents Cit 艢补办迟颈, the energy of consciousness of 艢颈惫补. Second letter of the Sanskrit alphabet, 鈥溎佲��, represents 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈鈥攅nergy of bliss of 艢颈惫补. Cit 艢补办迟颈 and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈, the energies of consciousness and bliss, are totally inseparable. Where there is consciousness (cit) there is bliss (膧苍补苍诲补), and where there is bliss there is consciousness. At this stage, the universe is yet to take its shape. It only resides in 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈^[4], the energy of bliss.

Dual forms of 滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈

滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈鈥攅nergy of will, comes after Cit 艢补办迟颈 and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈, represented by the third and fourth letters of the alphabet, the letter 鈥渋鈥�. 滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈 takes two forms, unagitated and agitated. Unagitated 滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈 resides peacefully in its own nature taking the form of the letter 鈥渋鈥�. Agitated 滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈 is formed as the next letter of the alphabet, the letter 鈥溎�鈥�. In this state 艢颈惫补鈥檚 will is agitated but not in such a way that it is separated from His own nature. It remains as residing in his own consciousness and bliss, Cit and 膧苍补苍诲补.

Apprehension in 闯帽腻苍补 艢补办迟颈-鲍苍尘别艣补 and 弄苍补迟补

The apprehension takes place at this point is 闯帽腻苍补 艢补办迟颈 -energy of knowledge in 艢颈惫补鈥檚 consciousness, that if I go forward, if I move onwards I may loose my own nature. It is represented in the next two letters of the alphabet, the letters 鈥渦鈥� and 鈥溑�鈥�. The first of these two letters 鈥渦鈥�, is called 耻苍尘别艣补. 鲍苍尘别艣补 indicates that the universal existence is about to begin, it is just forthcoming. It has not yet begun, it is not yet created, it is about to be created. When He begins to create the universe 艢颈惫补 has the apprehension that His Cit 艢补办迟颈 and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈 may be decreased if He continues to move out to create the universe which is known as 弄苍补迟补 (lessening). This apprehension is represented by the letter 鈥溑�鈥�. This apprehension keeps Him at a stand still and prevents Him from moving forward.

础苍腻艣谤颈迟补 艢颈惫补

Hence he discards and separates the universe from His own nature and resides in His own Cit 艢补办迟颈 (consciousness) and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈 (bliss). This state, wherein 艢颈惫补 has rejected the fact that the universe resides only in His own nature of consciousness and bliss, is represented by the next four vowels of the alphabet, viz.鈥�(鈥溼箾鈥�, 鈥溼節鈥�, 鈥溼阜鈥�, 鈥溼腹鈥�). At this state, indicated by the four vowels, the Supreme, filled with consciousness and bliss, resides in His own nature. He does not move out. Due to this there is no possibility of the universe coming out into manifestation. The manifestation of the universe stops totally. Hence these four vowels鈥�(鈥溼箾鈥�, 鈥溼節鈥�, 鈥溼阜鈥�, 鈥溼腹鈥�) are called 础尘峁泃补 产墨箩补, meaning 鈥渞esiding in His own bliss (ananda [腻苍补苍诲补?])鈥�. At this stage there is no thought of creating the universe. These four vowels (峁�a峁囜笉补蝉惫补谤补蝉) do not create anything. The state of 艢颈惫补 represented by these four vowels is known as 础苍腻艣谤颈迟补 艢颈惫补, who has not accepted the existence of the universe in His own nature. He does not allow the universal existence in His own nature. In this state 艢颈惫补 resides always in His own nature.

Universal Manifestation

The apprehension, 鈥淚f I create this universe I may loose My own nature.鈥� is from the agitated state of his 滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈 -the agitated will of 艢颈惫补. Yet the first two energies of consciousness and bliss, of 艢颈惫补 Cit and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈s, do not recognize this apprehension. They are at ease. They understand that to create this universe is only the glory of His nature, therefore, there is no question of apprehension arising in 艢颈惫补. He should not be afraid about coming out. Coming out or going in is the same thing to him. Cit 艢补办迟颈 and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈s with this understanding begin to create this universe afresh.

Four states of 碍谤颈测腻 艢补办迟颈

Cit and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈s, the energies of consciousness and bliss, denoted by the vowels 鈥渁鈥� and 鈥溎佲��, create contact with 滨肠肠丑腻 艢补办迟颈, the energy of will,  represented in the vowels 鈥渋鈥� and 鈥溎�鈥� create the letter 鈥渆鈥�. Then simultaneously Cit and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈s, 鈥渁鈥� and 鈥溎佲�� contact 鈥渆鈥� and give rise to the letter 鈥渁i鈥�. When Cit and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈s 鈥渁鈥� and 鈥溎佲�� come in contact with 闯帽腻苍补 艢补办迟颈, the energy of knowledge, represented in the letters 鈥渦鈥� and 鈥溑�鈥�, they create the letter 鈥渙鈥�. When simultaneously Cit and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈s 鈥渁鈥� and 鈥溎佲�� are in contact with the letter 鈥渙鈥� they give rise to the letter 鈥渁u鈥�.

These four letters鈥�(鈥渆鈥�, 鈥渁i鈥�, 鈥渙鈥�, 鈥渁u鈥�) which were created by the contact of Cit and 膧苍补苍诲补 艢补办迟颈s with 滨肠肠丑腻 and 闯帽腻苍补 艢补办迟颈s, represent the four states of 碍谤颈测腻 艢补办迟颈, the energy of action of 艢颈惫补. The first state of the energy of action, represented by the letter 鈥渆鈥�, is called 础蝉辫丑耻峁璦 (not vivid) 碍谤颈测腻 艢补办迟颈. In this state the energy of action is not clear. In the next movement and state of 碍谤颈测腻 艢补办迟颈, represented by the letter 鈥渁i鈥�, the energy of action becomes 厂辫丑耻峁璦, vivid. In the third state of 碍谤颈测腻 艢补办迟颈, represented by the 鈥渙鈥�, the energy of action becomes 厂辫丑耻峁璦tara, more vivid. In the fourth and final stateof 碍谤颈测腻 艢补办迟颈, represented by the letter 鈥渁u鈥�, the energy of action becomes 厂辫丑耻峁璦tama, most vivid. So the energy of action has four states represented in the letters鈥�(鈥渆鈥�, 鈥渁i鈥�, 鈥渙鈥�, 鈥渁u鈥�). In this energy of action the reflection of the whole universe takes place. Although this universe is reflected in His total energy of action, yet this reflection has taken place primarily in His fourth energy of action which is represented by the letter 鈥渁u鈥�.

础苍耻蝉惫腻谤补 state of 艢颈惫补

Even though this whole universe has been created, the nature of His Self, that is full of consciousness and bliss, has not been lessened at all. Nothing has happened. He is only residing in His own point. This state of 艢颈惫补 is represented by the letter 鈥溹ぎ啷嶁�� (补苍耻蝉惫腻谤补). The letter 鈥溹ぎ啷嶁�� or a dot 掳, shows that the existence of 艢颈惫补 has not moved from His own nature even though this whole universe is created in His Self.

艢颈惫补 bindu and 艢补办迟颈 bindu

The reflection of the universe, being in the form of a cup shaped mirror, is represented by the sixteenth letter of the Sanskrit alphabet, visarga, the letter 鈥溼弗鈥斷�呧�冣��. In Devanagari script the letter 鈥渉a鈥� takes the form of the two points of the colon 鈥�(:)鈥�. And these two points of the visarga (:), represent the two cups in which the reflection of the universe takes place. These two points are known as 艢颈惫补 bindu and 艢补办迟颈 bindu.
